The most common Wonderlic test questions focus on Math and Verbal Reasoning. Less commonly used are Abstract Reasoning, General Knowledge, and Error-Checking questions. Here you'll find all of them.
The Wonderlic test sample questions in this category assess an individual's ability to perform basic math operations, like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Some might also test knowledge of percentages, ratios, and word problems. The main difficulty is accurately solving these questions within the time limit (14-16 seconds for each question).
Here are 6 Math Wonderlic Test questions and answers mirroring the ones you’ll see on your test.
Which of the following is the smallest number:
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Start by eliminating all the answer choices that are greater than 1 .
Without precise conversion, we know that both 5/8 and 0.625 are more than half since (since 4\8 = 0.5) and 1/3 is less than half. by understanding that 1/3 is less than half, we can quickly identify it as the smallest number among the options without needing to convert each number to a common form.
If it takes one person 6 hours to load a truck, while another person can complete the task in one quarter the time, how many hours will it take both of them to load a truck while working together?
a. 5/6 of an hour
b. 1-hour
c. 1 1/5 hours
d. 1.5 hours
Answer:
The correct answer is C. work/rate=time
1 truck/(rate of worker 1 +rate of worker 2)
Worker 1
It takes him 6 hours to load a truck, therefore he loads 1/6 of a truck per hour.
Worker 2
Worker 2 can complete the job in one-quarter of the time worker 1 can. Therefore his rate of truck per hour is:
(1/6)×4 of a truck per hour=4/6 of a truck per hour
Rate of worker 1 + rate of worker 2:
1/6+4/6
=5/6
Therefore, the number of hours it will take them to load the truck together is equal to:
(1 truck)/(5/6 of a truck per hour) = 6/5 hours
= 1 1/5 hours.
Dr. John’s grades on five consecutive tests were 100, 80, 80, 80, and 100. Which of the graphs below best represents Dr. John's grades?
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Dr. John’s highest score is 100, and he scored it on the first and last tests. Thus, accordingly, we are looking for a graph in which the first and last values are equal and located at the highest point. Graphs A and E can be eliminated since their first and last points are not the same height.
Next, you know that the second, third, and fourth scores are equal. Thus, the slope of the line that connects these points must be zero. In graphs B, C, and F the slopes of the lines that connect the second, third, and fourth points are negative, and therefore these graphs can be eliminated as well.
The only option left is D, and indeed, in graph D the first and last scores are at the same height, and the line that connects the three middle points has a slope of zero. Therefore, D is marked as the correct answer.
A train travels 90 miles in 15 minutes; how many miles does it travel in 2 hours?
F. None of these
Answer:
The correct answer is (B) - 720
15 minutes are a 1/4 of an hour. To reach 2 hours from a 1/4 of an hour we need to multiply by 8. Because the time is multiplied by 8 we also multiply the distance traveled by 8:
90 X 8 = 720 miles

Math Question #5
A football coach is building his team. He has four quarterback options and three possible centers. He also has to select one assistant coach from two candidates. How many possible teams can he build?
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
The coach has four quarterback options, three possible centers, and two candidates for assistant coach. Start with the quarterback: Let's say the coach selects quarterback A.
He now has three options for a center. If he selects quarterback B, he would still have three options for a center.
Thus, for every quarterback option, the coach has three center options. Overall, he has 4*3 options to select a quarterback and center.
Now, the coach needs to select an assistant. For every one of the quarterback + center combinations, the coach has two options for an assistant.
Thus, overall, he has 4*3*2=24 options in selecting his team, and the correct answer is 24.
Math Question #6
A school play's production costs are $20 per costume and $35 per set.
How much money will it cost to produce a school play that requires 13 costumes and 7 sets?
Answer:
The correct answer is (C).
13 costumes at $20 each is 13 × $20 = $260.
7 sets at $35 each is 7 × $35 = 245.
The total cost to produce the school play is $260 + $245 = $505.
